About Dormestone Farm

"You don't have to forgo luxury just because you have a canine to contend with on your hols, as this superb 17th-century Grade II-listed home proves. You don't even have to leave the private grounds to give your dogs a decent walk, after which you can snuggle up by the open fire while they relax in the dog basket provided. If you want to venture further, you've got the North Downs on your doorstep." - The Independent (February, 2017)

Enjoy a little piece of heaven and exclusivity in this charming 17th Century estate with acres of extensive private grounds. A roaring open fire, antique finds and gorgeous furnishings combine to ensure this large group accommodation in Charing is the perfect indulgent stay for friends and family. Enjoy uninterrupted views from almost every window with little between you and the North Downs but the heated pool and tennis court.

This stunning, large holiday home offers quintessential luxury at its best. With a selection of reception rooms you will be spoilt for choice. Morning coffees are best enjoyed in the serene reading room, with French doors opening to the manicured gardens, delightful as you sit back relax and watch the children play, quite the scene from Country Life Magazine!

The rooms of this unique Grade II listed designer home make the most of the natural sunlight. The layout enhances the beautiful feature beams and hidden nooks of the property, setting the scene for the harmonious blend of modern contemporary furnishings and mix of antiques.

The open plan state of the art kitchen and conservatory overlooks the pool and tennis court making the home perfect for relaxing whilst watching your friends play a nail-biting match! The large dining table can seat a family brood and makes for a very sociable space, ideal for cooking and entertaining on special occasions.

The summer calls for splashing in the pool and alfresco dining under the stars by the fire pit. In winter the cosy living space with open fire add warmth to your escape to the country. Whilst there, why not take the dog out for a long stroll across the downs.

Service rating : Mulberry’s booking service was straight forward and easy. I had quite a few questions and found live chat really helpful. I’ve used Mulbery many times as has my family and we can rely on the quality and styling to be just right with one of their houses.Product : Dormestone is the perfect friend and family home. All the extras - tennis court, pool, gardens, snooker table and even a huge fire pit that looks down the countryside. The house is beautifully decorated and works well for a group, lots of reception rooms and nooks to hide away in.

April 2018

Service rating : Mulberry cottages offer first class service, they are very approachable and helpful.

We spent a wonderful Easter weekend with the family at Dormestone Farm. It was a perfect place for us with a large, bright conservatory-dining-kitchen area where we cooked and ate some amazing meals. The pool table and lounge with open fire complemented all the other facilities. We managed to explore the local area despite the British weather but we will have to leave the swimming, BBQ’s and camp fire-pit till another visit. The 4 bedrooms met our needs well. The house is finished to a very high standard, is very clean and well maintained. There are many interesting pictures, artworks and other interesting artefacts to see. The views across the valley are fabulous. There’s plenty of parking. I think we will be coming back as it suited our needs so well and we had such a good time.Product : Good value - the January discount was an added bonus

June 2017

Service rating : Clear communication. Reminders for final payment arrived when stated followed by instructions on access to the property.Product : The farmhouse was lovely and secluded. Fabulous gardens. We enjoyed the peace and quiet. The single track road to the farmhouse was busier than imagined. But not a problem. When we arrived, we found the microwave was not working. Reported to the housekeeper and it was replaced the following day. The perfect place for a peaceful holiday.

Service rating : Very efficient and an excellent website. We feel there is a market for more properties of this high a calibre.Product : This is beautifully designed with a wealth of activities and a pleasure to stay at.It is difficult to find fault, but we have some minor observations that would have enhanced our stay:1. Bathrobes or bath sheets2. A remote control for the DVD player3. The television in the bedroom working4. And something to take the chill off the downstairs shower roomBut in all other respects all three generations loved it!
